Pristine Art Deco House Lakeside 936 Junipero Serra  $1,195,000

This immaculate fully-detached Lakeside home is located on a serene offshoot of the main Boulevard - a small street with houses only on one side and overlooking a greenbelt.  A fabulous location:  just a short walk to West Portal retail, Stonestown shopping center, Ocean Avenue retail, San Francisco State University, Stern Grove, Harding Park Golf Course and so much more!  Transportation is a snap with MUNI light rail line just 3 blocks away, Bus to nearby BART station 1 block away, and even Tech bus stop & freeway access close by!

Built by Henry and Ellis Stoneson in 1941, this fine residence has a distinct Art Deco flair with repeating horizontal lines, circular windows and distinctive fireplace.  Lovely architectural details include parquet hardwood floors, staircase with mahoganhy & wrought-iron banister, original brass hardware, and lovely moldings & woodwork.  

936 Junipero Serra has been in the same family since 1969 and shows true pride-of-ownership throughout.  Some of the many high-quality upgrades include Marvin double-paned / double-hung windows, Anderson doors, solid wood plantation shutters from San Francisco Shutter Company, copper gutters & downspouts, Wolf professional range & hood, well-designed redwood decking, and beautifully landscaped front & rear yards. This home has been meticulously maintained, allowing the lucky new owners to move right in and enjoy!

Main level

A handsome front door with circular port hole opens to the formal entry foyer with a lovely staircase leading upstairs.  To the right is the spacious living room with fireplace, and to the left the elegant formal dining room.  These formal rooms have parquet hardwood floors, corner windows and handsome woodwork.  The main hall has a coat closet & stairs leading to the lower level.  In the rear of the house is the remodeled kitchen with breakfast area (or family area) with separate bar. Kitchen features Wolf professional gas range & hood, stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space. French doors lead to an amazing redwood deck and landscaped back yard!

Upper level

A lovely staircase leads to the upper hallway with banister overlooking the main level. In the rear is the master bedroom with 2 closets (1 walk-in with window), and Western outlooks.  There is a nice view of the yard from here, as well as views of greenery, hills and even a bit of the Pacific Ocean!  In the middle of this level is a bright bathroom with vintage tile, 2 windows, bathtub and separate stall shower.  In the front is a 2nd bedroom with both North & East facing windows, and a walk-in closet.

Lower level

A few steps down from the main hall leads to the lower level.  In the rear is a spacious 3rd bedroom (or family room) with big sliding glass doors leading to the lower redwood deck with seating area. The yard is also easily accessible from this room.  Towards the rear is the 2nd bathroom with shower.  Just past the bathroom, a door opens to a garage and the basement.  There are laundry hookups in this area, as well as steps down to a huge sub-basement.  The unusually large sub-basement has a consistently cool temperature making it ideal for wine storage.  There is additional parking for a 2nd car in the long driveway.

Outdoor spaces

Enjoy truly special outdoor space with glass doors on 2 levels leading to spacious redwood decks, and beautifully landscaped front & rear yards.  

Main level has French doors to a spacious deck area with Southern & Western exposure. There is plenty of room for a large outdoor table with seating for 6, plus a spacious lounging area. Lower level also has big sliding glass doors opening to a lower level deck with 2nd lounging area.  Stairs from both decks lead to a spectacular landscaped rear yard with both Southern & Western exposure.  Lovely pavers, quality artificial grass & planter beds with drought-resistant plantings make this yard low-maintenance yet extremely beautiful!
